pjano is an unknown quantity at this point
Compare WEb and FTP

Can someone compare Linux vs Windows IIS, feature by feature. Instalation, speed, using, configuring ... what is good and bad in your opinion

also I am interested in FTP services on Linux vs Windows

Thanx

I have only ever used Windows and Mac (tho I don't have a mac, but I'm dying to get one) and personal favorite is Mac. I can't really answer this one.

*g* That would be a good plan, Garrett.

I know Macs can be used as servers, but I don't know the details of the configurations. I'll have to look into that.

This is kind of a moot question, as Windows servers are good for some tasks and Linux servers better for others.

Also is up to personal preference.

Agreed, It comes down to preference

Maybe somebody cares to take the spotlight and tell the pros and cons to using Apache or IIS? Both can do things that the other can't do.

It's a lot more than just preference. Windows can do some things that linux can't, but linux is certainly catching up. As one example Samba still can't be used as a primary domain controller, so if you want to run active directory in your company you will be forced to use windows.

As far as differences between IIS or Apache? The only reason I would use IIS over apache is if I needed to run ASP or other M$ technology. IIS lacks many basic apache features that so many people have grown a custom to, such as .htaccess files. Not to mention that much better control panel support apache has. The only control panel I'm aware of under windows is plesk. WHM says they are planning a release of a windows cPanel but when that will come nobody seems to know.

That's to be a active directory client on a linux machine, we are talking about servers (which is why I specifically mentioned the role of a domain controller).

Like I already said above, you have the option of Samba if you want to run an active directory server. But the last time I looked at it you could only use it as a backup domain controller. Windows still had to control the primary FSMO roles.
